[p][/p][p]Hey everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]We're MadGoat Game Studio and Infini Fun — great to see you all again! With this latest update wrapped up, our version number has officially jumped to V0.9![/p][p][/p][p]To be honest, we never expected to pack in so much new content in just a few months since the game launched into Early Access back in June. None of this would have been possible without every one of you who joined us during EA, shared your feedback, and supported us along the way. We truly appreciate it! Without your encouragement and input, the 1.0 version of Netherworld Covenant might still feel a long way off.[/p][p][/p][p]Now that we’ve reached V0.9, we’re excited to let you know: barring any surprises, this will likely be the final content update before the full release! Development is now in its final stages, and we expect the game to officially launch before the end of this year![/p][p][/p][p]One quick heads-up: after the current discount period ends, we plan to make a small price increase to the game. So if you’ve been thinking about grabbing a copy, now’s a great time to hop on board with the sale![/p][p][/p][p]Can’t wait to meet all of you in the final 1.0 release![/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey everyone, [/p][p][/p][p]Just want to share some exciting news: Netherworld Covenant was exhibited at the Brazil Game Show (BGS) from October 9th to 12th. According to our partner CriticalLeap, the atmosphere at the scene was absolutely fantastic, and we were even honored to have some remarkable cosers join the event—we're truly flattered! [/p][p][/p][p]BTW, we'll also be rolling out a new version update by the end of this month. Stay tuned![/p]
